Mundraby retains Aussie belt

By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing

Australian bantamweight champion Fred “The General” Mundraby (10-0-1, 5 KOs) kept his unbeaten record when referee Steve Marshal crowned him the winner over Matt Meredith (3-8-1, 1 KO) at :59 of round one at the Hilton Hotel, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia on Saturday. Mundraby had previously defeated Meredith in 2007 when he scored six round technical decision for the Queensland title. Mundraby scored his best win in 2009 when he stopped highly regarded Filipino bantamweight Robert Lerio in six rounds to win the national championship.

In main supporting bout James “The Goondiwindi Gun” Giltrow (11-1, 7 KOs) won the vacant Australian welterweight title when he scored a clear ten round decision over Jason Kanofski (13-3-3, 2 KOs) by scores of 96-93, 96-93, 97-92. Referee Brad Vocale deducted a point from Giltrow in round eight for continued infringements.
